The Nature I Love Couldn't Possibly Be This Twisted!

Although the woman in the amber speaks Common Language, the three characters "Lü Junyi" are spoken in very standard Chinese Language.

This made Xu Nan's mind wander.

Hmm, this might be the Floating City of the Arcane Empire; the woman hiding in the amber might have a significant background, perhaps someone of great wealth and status who could be connected to the Arcane Empire; Lü Junyi did seem to have a dream about some Princess of the Arcane Empire a few days ago...

Even after putting all this information together, Xu Nan still couldn't believe it was all real!

Is Junyi Ge really that amazing? Did he really sleep with the Princess of the Arcane Empire in his dream? And then brag to her about being Astral Magician? Does he think he's Medivh?! (Note 1.)

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem impossible.

Given Lü Junyi's personality, even in reality, it's normal for him to exaggerate his abilities.

Xu Nan could only offer an awkward yet polite smile in response.

"Excuse me, who are you? Female military doctor? I didn't hear you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the pleasant voice rang out again:

"You smell like him."

Xu Nan remained silent for a moment, then said with difficulty, "Where is it? I'll go wash up."

"Are you his friend?" The woman in the amber seemed somewhat confused.

Xu Nan hurriedly clarified. "Just friends on the surface."

Just kidding, who knows what else Lü Junyi promised in his dream? He even made a promise to cut off the heads of the gods as a betrothal gift. Why doesn't he do that?

What if he made some strange promise and now he's the one who crashed first? Does that mean I have to do it too?

Xu Nan is not taking the blame for this!

"If you weren't acting on his behalf, then why are you here looking for me?"

The woman's tone suddenly hardened. "Didn't you see the sign at the door?"

Xu Nan thought for a moment, then pulled out an oak plaque from behind her back. "Is this yours?"

The woman angrily retorted, "How dare you..."

Click, click!

The sounds of eating echoed from the spacious hall.

[You consumed the Magic Oak Plate, +1]

In front of the woman who appeared to be the Princess of the Arcane Empire, Xu Nan slowly ate the entire Magic Oak Plate. Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good, much better than the tailoring book. It just didn't have enough ingredients, and it lacked the limit of zero magic power.

"You seem to have some prejudice against dogs."

Xu Nan wiped the wood shavings from her mouth. "If this were Weibo in China, you would be condemned by dog lovers."

The woman clearly didn't quite understand, but she sensed Xu Nan's sarcasm. "I have no prejudice against dogs, it's just..."

"After all these years, the people least qualified to stand on the land of Yu Tuo Sang are you Ron Sorcerer!"

"You have betrayed your faith and willingly become the lackeys of the gods. Now you even dare to covet the last Pure Land of the Arcane Empire! If it weren't for the trace of Lü Junyi's aura you carry within you, you would have already been expelled from this country!"

Xu Nan was taken aback. "Who wants to lay a finger on the last Pure Land of the Arcane Empire? And where is Yu Tuo Sang?"

He absolutely doesn't understand!

He had no idea what the two Floating City looked like; all he knew was that his key was no longer effective against the High-imitation Floating City.

"You ask a question you already know the answer to, and it disgusts me."

"Though I am unable to move, I will absolutely not let you succeed; however, with your strength, to want to cross the Rainbow Bridge, pass through the gate guarded by the Black Goat, and draw out Ayerro, one of the three great demonic swords... is simply wishful thinking!"

Her tone was icy, and she gradually closed her eyes.

Xu Nan then noticed that even after entering the spacious hall, there was still a faint crystalline barrier between him and the woman.

This strange crystal seems to have divided this Floating City into two worlds. On one side, there are a large amount of alchemical materials and the mysterious Amber Woman; on the other side, there seems to be only an empty city and a group of opportunistic Shadow Realm mercenaries.

Xu Nan reasoned for a moment and then decided to abandon the reasoning.

"Let's make a phone call!"

Since agreeing to join Six-Nine Plan, Xu Nan has gained a private message friend from Council Speaker Ophy.

He sent a message with a window shake, but Ophy was probably still flirting with the woman Song Cheng was dressed as, and it took her a while to reply to Xu Nan with a big question mark.

"I think I've discovered our High-imitation Floating City. The problem is, the situation is a bit complicated. Could you find some experts to analyze it for me?"

Xu Nan quickly sent a message.

Soon, Xu Nan received remote assistance from the Lost Paradise Floating City Recall Strategy Team.

With their help, Xu Nan ran around in this half of the Floating City and conducted several tests.

While he was conducting these tests, the mercenaries from the Shadow Realm simply followed him all over the city, but Xu Nan didn't care.

In the end, the crowd at Lost Paradise gave up a shocking result.

When the Twin Floating City fell into the Plane Funnel, something unusual happened, and the two Floating City... merged!

The current situation is that this Floating City is in a highly spiraled and distorted state, affected by both the Shadow Realm and Earth's gravity. It's half a high-quality replica and half the real thing.

After this analysis, Xu Nan understood.

It turns out that my side is High-imitation Floating City, with nothing but basic Floating City facilities; while Amber Girl's side should be the Floating City of the Arcane Empire!

Roy and others also consulted the materials and gave the origin of [Yu Tuo Sang].

Legend has it that before the gods launched their war of exile, the Wizard King had already foreseen the intentions of the World God Kingdom. A group of people were sent into the temporal rift before the war began, awaiting the return of the Arcane Empire.

It has the daughter of the Wizard King, whose real name is unknown, but who is hailed as the last pearl of the Arcane Empire.

The Wizard King adored his daughter and, on her birthday, personally crafted one of the nineteen SSS-class Floating City, Yu Tuo Sang, as a gift for the Princess.

By the way, the Floating City of Stephen Sang, which still stands in the Pro World, is also one of the nineteen SSS-class Floating City.

Yu Tuo Sang is both the princess's territory and her prison. It is said that under the law of the Wizard King, she is not allowed to leave Yu Tuo Sang until she comes of age.

In reality, before she came of age, a great war broke out, and she and Yu Tuo Sang were swept into the dustbin of history.

Adventurers of later generations have always been keen to find Yu Tuo Sang. Although news of finding Yu Tuo Sang often appears all over the Pro World, most of them are false.

"According to a spell once cast by the Wizard King, whoever knocks on the gates of Yu Tuo Sang a thousand years from now will be able to rule the city together with the Princess."

"Yu Tuo Sang extremely wealthy, possessing one-twentieth of the Arcane Empire's wealth; it is truly a city of riches!"

"But it is very difficult to open the door to Yu Tuo Sang. The Wizard King has set up three trials: the Rainbow Bridge, the Black Goat, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword! Only by passing the three trials can one open the door to Yu Tuo Sang."

Roy's tone was as if he were reading aloud, making Xu Nan drowsy.

"It sounds like I'm listening to a cliché adventure story." Xu Nan couldn't help but yawn.

He now pretty much understands how the two Floating City got together and became entangled, leading the Amber Woman to believe that the Ron Sorcerer was trying to seize her property.

In fact, even Roy and the others didn't understand the current situation of the Twin Floating City.

"Xu Nan, I advise you to be more careful. Although we hope to recall the Floating City, we still have several High-imitation Floating City..."

Roy whispered to him, "But anyone who gets involved with the Arcane Empire never ends well; and if, as you say, you really did encounter the Princess, given her hatred for our Lost Paradise, it would be a sign of mercy if she didn't kill you..."

Xu Nan chuckled, unconvinced.

"I've made up my mind. As a member of the Ron Sorcerer, I must do my part for Lost Paradise!"

"The High-imitation Floating City is a sacred and inviolable territory of Lost Paradise. How Yu Tuo Sang try to encroach on our land? This is unforgivable!"

"I will defend our sovereignty! As for that Princess, she can get as far away as possible!"

Roy was stunned. After a long while, he admitted his inferiority and said:

"I am not worthy to be a Ron Sorcerer!"

It's unclear whether he was marveling at Xu Nan's shamelessness or genuinely moved by Xu Nan's "righteous indignation."

Xu Nan is certainly not the kind of person who would be willing to shed blood and sweat for Lost Paradise!

What he valued most was Yu Tuo Sang's wealth.

Besides, he had already realized that Amber Girl wasn't nearly as powerful as she seemed. What? If it weren't for Lü Junyi's aura, she wouldn't have been able to expel Xu Nan Xu Nan at all, given her semi-sealed state!

Lulu: "When did you figure it out? Didn't I just tell you all this?"

Xu Nan shoved her into the treasure chest.

He recently discovered that this treasure chest is becoming more and more useful; anyone can put things in it, and it can be taken out and used when necessary.

Following Roy's directions, he found the connection between the two Floating City and indeed saw a tall city wall.

Outside the city walls, there is a beautiful and dazzling Rainbow Bridge.

Outside the Rainbow Bridge, there is a sign in Common Language:

To cross this bridge, one must be accompanied by dragons, immortals, and gods.

Such a simple description is enough to stop millions of people.

"Damn! This is racial discrimination!"

Xu Nan glanced at the bottomless Rainbow Bridge below and felt a little apprehensive.

He thought for a moment, then took out the Bronze Dragon. The vest rubbed against the sign for no apparent reason, and the Rainbow Bridge suddenly flashed with a full red light!

Xu Nan then took out Lulu. This guy, like the Lake Fairy, is a kind of fairy spirit, so he should be considered one, right? Sure enough, the Rainbow Bridge quickly lit up with a green light.

Gods... where can I find gods? Xu Nan thought for a moment and decided to grit his teeth and give it a try.

He stretched out one foot and stepped on the seemingly illusory rainbow.

A divine scene unfolded: a flash of blue light appeared, and the Rainbow Bridge suddenly became unreal.

Xu Nan and his group stepped on it, and surprisingly, they could walk on it!

"To cross this bridge, one must be accompanied by dragons, immortals, and gods..."

"Wait... could that god be... me?"

Xu Nan touched her face, somewhat incredulous.

"Meow!" The Chalk Cat poked its head out of the treasure chest and looked around curiously.

Xu Nan shoved her head back in without any politeness.

"Well, the Initiate Sorcerer were originally related to the Protoss, so it's normal that the Rainbow Bridge system mistakenly identified me as a god!"

"It's impossible that this Chalk Cat is a god, right? That's too far-fetched."

Thinking this, Xu Nan pulled Ma Jia and Lulu to cross the bridge.

However, he suddenly stopped halfway through.

"Wait a minute!"

He ran to the bridgehead, picked up the sign, and started chewing on it as he walked.

"We can't waste it... it might be something good left behind by the Wizard King!"

[You have consumed the Soul-Seizing Wood; your illusion resistance has increased by 10.]

Indeed, diligence and thrift are fine virtues of the China nation.

After successfully crossing the Rainbow Bridge, Xu Nan and his group arrived at a large brass gate.

The gate has a key, but the key is kept in a brazier guarded by a guardian.

The so-called guardian was, of course, the Black Goat set up by the Wizard King.

Although this Black Goat is not a divine beast, it is still incredibly powerful, and it is virtually impossible for ordinary people to pass its test.

Xu Nan cast an Appraisal Technique and saw a series of Yingba data. He gave up his plan to confront it head-on. Even if he used all his Awakening Power and had the help of the Bronze Dragon, he probably still couldn't defeat this Black Goat named [Mousse].

Just as Xu Nan was frowning in worry, the Quest Card suddenly refreshed unexpectedly!

[Large-scale quest chain "I Love Nature" triggered!]

[I am a nature lover 4: Enjoy the love of Black Goat!]

[Task Description: Even the wisest can make a mistake. The easiest way to get the key from the brazier is to lure Black Goat Mousse away! Use your Goat Transformation Technique to become a female goat and seduce Black Goat Mousse. Duration: Three minutes.]

[Quest Reward: Advanced Transformation Technique (Druid); 50 Shame Points]

Xu Nan's eyes were filled with despair:

"The nature I love... can't possibly be this distorted!~"

Note 1: Medivh, a famous character in World of Warcraft, Astral Magician, and a representative of overpowered Lawful Master!
